Has anyone read it?
And if so, what did you think of it?

I'm currently reading it, and I think it's a super book. =]

i thought it was a really good book.

assuming you were planning on it.

The book is makes more sense to me than the movie, but I think it was because I didn't really watch the movie. =/
But I'm reading the book, the part where she is going to get a danna...

I wish I'd finished the damned thing already. >.<
I feel like such a slow reader, when I know I'm not. -.-

I tried reading the book a few months ago, but I couldn't get into it. And because of that I kept loosing my page (because I rarely use a bookmark to mark the page I'm on, but even then I kept forgetting about what was going on). So after some time, I got pissed because two weeks had gone by, and I hadn't even gotten past page 67, and I wanted to read other books, so that was what I did.

The book is absolutely flawless.

Sayuri is such a deep, well thought out character.

I'd definetly reccomend the book over the movie. If I had not read the book before seeing the movie, I would have been uber-confused.

they changed so much from the book when they did the movie.
it was a vague rendition that barely touched the plotline.

Yeah, the movie was confusing (or at least the bits of it I saw).
Now, I'd like to see the movie, but ehhh...I'm pretty satisfied with the book. <3

OMGSH.
I JUST started reading this book today.
Absolutely amazing. biggrin
She was just checked out, and they're telling her about being a Geisha, prehaps, in a few months.
Its barely into the story, but its still really good!
It's captivating.

I enjoyed it when I read it a few years ago. I was surprised to learn about the author...
